Description

chirpw crashes on launch on OpenSuSE 11.4 Evergreen (extended/long term support).

It's short and painless, so the complete transaction appears immediately below, rather than in an attachment:

jail/chirp.hg> ./chirpw
CHIRP 0.3.0dev on Linux - Welcome to openSUSE 11.4 "Celadon" - Kernel %r (%t). (Python 2.7)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./chirpw", line 106, in 
    vmaj, vmin, vrel = pyver.split(".", 3)
ValueError: need more than 2 values to unpack
jail/chirp.hg>

As we see from the first line of output, sys.version identifies the python version as 2.7, not 2.7.X. The crash occurs when we attempt to parse this several lines later into three fields. There are only two fields in this case.

While this may be atypical, we may see more of this as Python 3.X evolves; docs.python.org warns about parsing this.
